Old Storrs Barn…

Last week Greg, Olive and I took a ride down to Connecticut in
search of barns. Well, they just went
out for the ride. I was in search of
barns. Our ramblings took us to Storrs,
Connecticut where the University of Connecticut is located. But before we got to the campus, we came across
this beautiful old building and Greg graciously turned around so that we could
get a better look at it.

There is a sign on the building that says “Storrs Barn” with a
date that is unreadable but I imagine it is something like 1860. But I can’t be sure. An internet search turned up nothing about
this particular barn but did have lots to say about the barns on the UConn
campus. So I know nothing about this
building other than I think it is pretty cool.
We were passing right at the golden hour so it really stood out in that
beautiful light.

The sign over the door definitely says "Storrs Barn," but I can't read the date.

We'll be heading out in the morning. See you when we get back. Meanwhile, take it easy!

About Me

I am Barb Hale and this is my photography blog. I started this blog for the sole purpose of sharing my photography with others. I am an amateur photographer who is constantly learning. And I so enjoy the simple act of taking a photo. I hope you enjoy my work.

My father left a legacy of thousands of photos and slides behind when he passed. Most were snaps of family and friends. I probably inherited my love of taking pictures from him but I don’t take many pics of people. I prefer photographing things and bits of nature.

Confucius said, “Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.” I accept that statement as truth. There is beauty all around you if you bother to look. There is beauty in the mundane and commonplace…and sometimes there is even perfection.
